Abstract

The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) is investing £165 million over the next 11 years in the Fulfilling Lives: A Better Start (ABS) programme[1]. This investment will facilitate the implementation and testing of different models of early intervention in between three and five disadvantaged areas across England. Alongside government-funded and third-sector providers working collaboratively across health, education and social care, the BIG Lottery investment will allow these areas to make structural changes to the way in which they identify and work with families at risk of poor outcomes. They will also be enabled to introduce a range of preventive interventions focusing on pregnancy and the first three years of life, with the aim of improving children's nutritional, socio-emotional and language/learning outcomes.
